In 17et a company of English merchants under- tonk to pay $10,000 000 sterling of the nations, must be conilaually going out, debt and in return received a grant of the Pacific Ocran trade. The idea was that by means of commerce with Peru, Mexico and other gold. producing countries Brisla would soon be filled with the precious metal. A war with Spain interrupted the trading plans, but the company continued as a banking enterprise. In 1720 li and the Bank of England made rival offers to discharge the pablle debt, then amounting to £31,000,000 sterling. The South Sea Company got the contract, the Government greeing to secure it 5 per cent interest for four years, after which the crown was to be at liberty to redesta the debt, paving enly 4 per cent. Interest till the redemption should be made. The company's stock at once became a popular investment and the price rose from 130 to 300 in one day. When the floure

They have secured themselves by the lasies of the deluded, thoughtless mem bers whose understandings have been overruled by avarice and the hope of making mountains out of melebills. Thousands of families will be reduced to beggary. The consternation is laer pressible, the rage beyond description and the case altogether desperate."
